Temple of Ellesyia


The Temple of Ellesyia is an ancient Egyptian rock-cut temple originally located near the site of Qasr Ibrim. It was built during the 18th dynasty by the Pharaoh Thutmosis III. The temple was dedicated to the deities Amun, Horus and Satis.
During the Nubian monument salvage campaign guided by the UNESCO in the 1960s the temple was moved to
the Museo Egizio at Turin in order to save it from being submerged by Lake Nasser.
